Supplemental Guarantor Information [Abstract]

SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

Our CQP Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries other than SPL (the “Guarantors”) and, subject to certain conditions governing its guarantee, Sabine Pass LP (collectively with SPL, the “Non-Guarantors”). These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions including (1) the sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of the capital stock or all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantors, (2) upon the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor, (3) following the release of a Guarantor from its guarantee obligations and (4) upon the legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of obligations under the indenture governing the CQP Senior Notes. See Note 11—Debt for additional information regarding the CQP Senior Notes.

The following is condensed consolidating financial information for Cheniere Partners (“Parent Issuer”), the Guarantors on a combined basis and the Non-Guarantors on a combined basis. The condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies as described in Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, except for the investments in subsidiaries, which is accounted for using the equity method.

In lieu of Schedule I pursuant to the requirements of Rule 5-04 of Reg S-X, the condensed parent company financial statements are presented below in the Parent Issuer column. The condensed parent only financial statements have been provided in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and should be read in conjunction with Cheniere Partners’ Consolidated Financial Statements. Pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations, the condensed parent company financial statements do not include all of the financial information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
